Celebration

Darkness covered ever crevice, When the angels of God betrayed the Lamb, And the tongue of accuser, set us all down in the shame and guilt of self- effacement. The sound of fury cursed our joy, That we all bowed down and couldn’t stand, And the pain of regret, set disease in all our arms and legs, But there was one angel, an old black woman, Who saw the light of day anyway, And she took her cane and through it to the side, And said, “Hey baby I’m a embrace this ride,” No matter what, I’m a go to drive in movies, And I’m a smile come what may, And I’m a sing a song of roses, despite the darkest day, And she began to flap her wings, And the wind from her bosom spread across the cosmos, And the world knew celebration.
